In a new interview with TVFanatic.com, showrunner Gary Glasberg revealed that season 12 will bring someone new into his life. "And Tony, in episode 4, is going to meet a woman. So we'll start to layer that in," he said.

However, it's unclear whether or not this woman and Tony will get romantic. But, Glasberg previously teased the possibility of a new lady coming into Tony's life after Ziva David left last season.

"I don't think his next relationship is going to happen anytime soon," Glasberg told TVLine in January. "Eventually, will there be another [great love]? Maybe."

Aside from Tony's situation, Glasberg also said that Delilah and McGee's relationship will continue to grow next season. He's additionally working on casting "the elusive, unknown ex-wife" of Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

Glasberg also gave details on the season 12 premiere and revealed that there will be tons of drama. "The first episode starts in Russia and brings Gibbs and McGee to Russia and then a crisis happens and we're off and running. It sets up an adversary for them that will track through the whole season," he said.

Season 12 of the CBS show will premiere at 8/7c on Tuesday, Sept. 23. The new spin-off, NCIS: New Orleans, will kick off right after.
